[09:32:48] hi [09:34:02] I got a question, I have made a query to list all Civil War Battles with Location. Using the is part of Property. [09:34:12] The problem is I get only 20 results (no limit set). [09:34:45] Yet, there are battles that have both the geolocation & is part of that are not listed, e.g. the Battle of Hancock. [09:38:57] hello [09:39:14] anyone not idle here? [12:05:14] yes but i can't answer your question [12:33:57] mhv: can you give a link to your query? (query.wikidata.org has a "share" functionality that will give you a shortened url) [12:34:26] ah, gone [12:35:45] I've got another question: it seems very painful to add academic sources to statements, as described in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Sources [12:37:03] is there any project to provide a simpler interface on top of that? I'd like to be able to say that a statement comes from a particular DOI, and all the relevant items would be created using that [12:37:32] something like "Citoid for Wikidata" [12:37:46] As statements? I think there is a citoid script for references. [12:39:53] yeah, like adding an item for the journal article I want to cite, and filling it with all the relevant bibliographic metadata [12:40:05] it looks like https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016/Proposals/Citoid_integration_for_Wikidata is the place for that [15:14:12] Lydia_WMDE: Was some of ordering change deployed? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28471286 inventory number shows at the bottom for me [15:14:58] multichill: it shouldn't yet have but it looks like it is live now [15:15:08] * Lydia_WMDE looks more [15:15:12] haha [15:15:20] hmm no [15:15:29] on another item it is still incorrect [15:15:40] * Lydia_WMDE purges [15:15:40] https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q28471286&action=history I added inventory number first and url last [15:16:00] ah with a purge it is "correct" now [15:16:05] on that other item [15:16:07] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/BotMultichill <- just take a random item here [15:16:31] * Lydia_WMDE looks if gadget is still enabled for her account [15:16:50] nope disabled [15:17:10] so yeah it is live even though i thought it'd only go out this week [15:17:47] oh well. we now have more sensible ordering :D [15:18:24] Is the sorting at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikibase-SortedProperties ? [15:18:41] yes [15:19:19] Any documentation I can link from at the talk page? [15:20:11] besides "all items and properties will be ordered based on the order defined here"? [15:20:23] there isn't more to it really [15:21:06] So it's just a flat list? [15:21:13] yeah [15:22:16] ouch [15:22:32] ? [15:26:03] Bit crude, will lead to discussions [15:27:23] We'll see, at least it's in MediaWiki namespace so it's only admins who can fight about it ;-) [15:28:40] hehe [15:29:21] I modified that page a bit and I don't see the effect yet. Some lag in there? [15:29:38] you might need to purge the page it should have an effect on [15:29:43] already tried that [15:30:01] hmmm then it should work. but i can check with thiemo tomorrow [15:30:11] And I'm creating new items right now [15:30:42] Good start! Finally we can have arbitrary sorting dicussions! ;-) [15:31:19] i hope there won't actually be too much discussion about it [15:31:21] but we will see [15:31:59] Version 2 should make it possible to have this global list and have a per domain override based on P31 -> (something). That would be really nice [15:32:00] the alternative is have people bitch about how the first statement about alan turing is that he was gay and similar things [15:32:16] Yeah, it's an improvement, no doubt about that [15:32:27] yeah if needed we can look at that if discussion around it befcomes too much [15:33:21] We have quite a few big domains that can benefit from good sorting (humans, taxons, works of art) [15:34:03] Almost 200.000 paintings btw :-D [15:34:10] right. my hope is that we can achieve that with what is there now since there isn't too much overlap in properties that would need conflicting sorting [15:34:34] might be wrong of course but i'd like to see if it is really needed [15:35:20] Hope so too, we'll see [15:35:46] it helps already as you can expect where things are
